Jamie is a very cute, sweet, gorgeous and sometime a naughty lovebird! The first time I saw her was through photos sent by my friend Katrien. She and her husband breed lots of lovebirds and are - as I - a member of the BVA (Belgium Lovebird Society). Jamie was still in the nest with her parents and than at one time, Rene (Katriens husband) found her on the bottom of the cage, totally cold! He took her downstairs to Katrien and ? Katrien put Jamie between her breasts to get her warm again and it worked! She started handfeeding Jamie from that moment on and in March 2003 there was a BVA show were we met again. Jamie was there too, because she was still being handfed by Katrien. She was the gorgeoust fishers I've ever seen, but Rene didn't sell her, because he also saw that Jamie was a champion birdy! But I was totally in love with her and wanted her, no matter what! I kept asking Rene if I could buy/get her, and after he had some more beers he suddenly said yes, he he!! I could take Jamie home! In the beginning, after I gave her the formula, she constantly climbed in my shirt to warm up between my breasts.. ha ha.. such a funny bird!

I have her 2½ years and she still is very tame, I can play with her, cuddle with her, etc. Since about 6 months she has a friend, named Bobbie. I hoped that Bobbie was a male bird (I know that Jamie is female through a dna test) but gosh.. Bobbie (a blue fishers) is a girl too! My dream of getting some babies of Jamie, stopped here, but well.. I am not a breeder, I have birds since I was 12 years old and they are my kids. At this moment I have Jamie, Bobbie and 6 more lovebirds, two budgies, 1 senegal parrot and 1 congo african grey and once I have a new bird I will get attached to them very much, so that is the reason Bobbie stayed.. in one cage with Jamie and now they are friends. Jamie is the boss in the cage, she's quite a character but Bobbie isn't shy anymore and so it goes well. Jamie likes to tease my senegal parrot too! She isn't afraid of any other bird living here in my room. Maybe in the future when I have less birds I can get her a male and have babies, who knows!!!
